martin waugh: liquid sculpture

Sign up here to receive the DAM newsletter.

Martin Waugh has spent several years photographing drops of water using high-speed photography that “captures the smooth and effortless curves of liquid.” Waugh depends on his lens to freeze the liquid in motion, giving us the opportunity to observe the droplets mid-splash. The images are fascinating, graceful and surprising.

For a real treat, watch as Waugh and The Discovery Chanel make the first-ever slow motion video of a drop of water hitting another drop of water (towards the end). Sublime.

    Down right hypnotizing. I need to watch this every day from work. Surprisingly, I have entered a zen mental space. We know how hard that is to do where work. Wow. And thank you for sharing.
